Text Box: Symptoms, like dreams, are our pathways to growing as human beings. When we have a symptom, we tend to classify it as this and that according to a medical or alternative label, and hope to find an intervention. Or we seek, rightly so, the doctor’s help. If any of it helps, so much the better. If not — then the symptom’s subjective experience is the one to focus on while not neglecting the everyday care needed for healing a symptom. Consider that the experience of symptoms (and illnesses) is not reproducible - no one can feel, see or hear exactly how and what you or I individually experience; it is this subjective dimension that opens the door to transforming ourselves, our present awareness and identification. The body is dreaming! Join us on Friday to experiment with the tools of Process Work, to find out more about yourself and hear about and experiment with the basic principles and tools of the Process Oriented approach.

Process Oriented Psychology or Process Work, developed by Arnold Mindell and colleagues, is  a theoretical and practical orientation to working with individuals, relationships, organizations, and communities in conflict. There’s an inherent wisdom and direction in nature when awareness enters the picture  —  Bringing awareness into our experience frees us from being swallowed up in repeating patterns and cycles of our personal and collective history. Process Work methods reveal surprising twists and turns of our journey and potentially creative process as individuals and communities.
